kook_10 1,705 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) I'll take Schneider-Weisse, Paulaner or Franziskaner on tap any day over Weihenstephan. Weihenstephaner seems to travel better and stay smoother in bottles though. Schneider is tops for me though. Edited August 10, 2010 by kook_10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jollymania 162 Report post Posted August 11, 2010 Not to mention they're usually pretty cheap. at my store you can get licher or warsteiner for less than coors light and way less than becks or heineken, licher or warsteiner aren't' the greatest beers but they are at least better than the more expensive ones that sell more, btw Warsteiner is pavel's fav beer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is all about freshness I guess, I can never find scnheider weiss fresh, though i think their aventinus is the best of any wheat beer, Im going to Germany for a few months next spring and I know I'll make a better decision then on the standard hefweeizens cause they will all be super fresh. Another good wiessbeer: Mahr's Saphir Weiss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another good wiessbeer: Mahr's Saphir Weiss I love Aventinus too, and there are a few bars around me that have it on tap. That and the Edel-Weisse are actually easier to find on tap than the standard Weisse although there is a great Bavarian bar/restaurant in Manhattan that serves liters and has both Weisse and Aventinus. I'm not such a young man anymore so it would be a short night if I were to start drinking liters of Aventinus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I don't think the flavor is necessarily better, just more alcoholic. Plus it is harder to find and I can't drink as many of them so I prefer the regular Aventinus. Either version is head and shoulders above the -ator doppelbocks (Salvator,Maximator, Celebrator). The best sorta similar beers I think are Corsendonk Brown and Trois Pistoles. Despite going to Germany a few times I can't say I've had other eisbocks like Kulmbacher or Eggenburg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Despite going to Germany a few times I can't say I've had other eisbocks like Kulmbacher or Eggenburg. I think the flavor is more concentrated in the eisbock, it is aso the best value, only 3.75 where i shop Corsendonk and trois aren't anything like doppelbocks really i don't think but they are solid belgian-styled ales ive had kulmbacher, not as good, ive also had michigan favorite kuhnhenn's, that was good, a beer aroudn here, capital makes one too, not really that great. I really, really like this list. Bell's and Stone up at the top (I love their BLACK IPA listed at #82).

kook_10 1,705 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 Corsendonk Brown is actually a Belgian dubbel and IMO has more in common taste wise with Aventinus than most of the typical Bavarian doppelbocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
